Below is a code snippet from the application which always worked with Tomcat but now, after the migration to JBoss 4.3 the condition fails ... if (stateCode.toUpperCase().equals("PÅGÅENDE_EJ_KONTAKT")) return CaseStateCache.getInstance().getById(CaseState.STATE_INPROG_NOT_CONTACTED); ... log.warn("Unknown state found in database:" + stateCode); return CaseStateCache.getInstance().getById(CaseState.STATE_UNKNOWN); ... After having read the log, which states "...WARN  [CaseDAO] Unknown state found in database:PÅGÅENDE_EJ_KONTAKT", I'm quite sure that this is JBoss related (encoding hell, sort of... or?) /R -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/557495#557495] Start a new discussion in jBPM at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
